Gladiators 1,903 Posted January 10, 2019 Agreed, what's the dog's motive? Dog was clearly trying to show him it wasn't the gun's fault for all the missed shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,479 Posted January 10, 2019 Pets are nothing more than slaves to their “Owners”! How does it feelto be a Slave owner? Are pets slaves? Pets are essentially our slaves. As there were some benevolent slave owners, so there are some caring pet owners. A pet, as any other animal, has no legal right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Rutgers law professors say pets are 'animal slaves,' argue domestication is form of torture https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/22/rutgers-law-professors-say-pets-are-animal-slaves-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BiPolarBear 476 Posted January 12, 2019 I can see it happening. I have seen shotguns with the safety as a button you just push down. They are located over the trigger, and are meant to be operated by the trigger finger. It is an easy slide from the safety to the trigger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
